Microsoft Publisher 2002

Do you need a program that can produce both home projectsgreeting cards, award and gift certificates, airplanes, and origamiand business projects like resumes, menus, and business cards?

A more focused helping hand (not that danged paper clip) would have been beneficial, too. Yet learning and working with Publisher's templates was much easier than with those of its competitors, and we were more pleased with our results.
